Increase in Presyncope and Migraines after regularly exercising?

I searched the Reddit first to make sure no one had posted something like this and I didn't find anything so hopefully this is normal?

I started going to the gym 3 days a week at the beginning of July after spending 1.5 years leading up to it with less strenuous exercise (chair yoga, bike pedals, etc). I'm doing this based on my cardiologist's recommendation to increase leg muscles as it can help with some POTS patients (he made it clear it was only some and might not work, but it's worth a shot)

I've been really enjoying it, my leg muscles are a lot stronger than I expected and it's been great for my mental health. However I've noticed this past week my symptoms have been significantly worse. Presyncope and migraines being the worst to increase, I'm back to struggling to go upstairs without falling forward and grabbing the stair in front of me to stop myself falling down.

Has this happened to anyone else? Did it improve again over time? I worked really hard to reduce my symptoms and I really don't want to stop going to the gym.

Somehow feeling genderless while wearing makeup and a skirt

Been experimenting now that my dysphoria is gone and I wanted to share this fit because it feels like an agender win, and I'm really happy about it.

I definitely don't have the confidence to wear it outside my room yet but knowing I could one day is pretty cool. I mean technically sharing it to the internet is wearing it outside of my room but it's less scary haha

Asexual Cards

Made myself a triple a battery card (Aro/ace agender) and thought I'd make a just Aroace version... Would you guys wanna see a full set? Heart suit for Alloromantic aces (is there a specific flag for that? I was gonna just do the ace flag), a diamond for greys and a diamond for demis, a club for acespecs/questionings (with the acespec flag)

What styles would you want to see? I'd like to keep the bone and flower theme but maybe a different weapon? Different flowers? (Yes, it looking like the master sword is intentional) I'd love to hear your feedback!

Gender Jelly

I've made a friend recently who described themselves as "Genderjelly" like Genderfluid but less fluid, staying in the non-binary spectrum.

I absolutely loved the name and gender and asked if I could make a flag for it. They agreed, confirmed they liked the flag and gave me permission to post it here!

I hope you guys like it, it's not my gender (I'm agender) so if you have any questions I will ask my friend (I have their permission) and post their response. They wish to stay anonymous 😊

I think I (23NB) made things awkward with my friend (23M)

I'm on the asexual and aromantic spectrums. I've only ever felt attraction once and it was unfortunately towards a friend. We first became friends years ago but didn't start talking again until the beginning of the year. I realised I felt differently at the beginning of May this year.

I knew it was unlikely that they'd like me back, so tried to ignore it but my brain wouldn't let it go. I eventually told them knowing l'd be rejected. As expected they rejected me and finally my brain dropped it.

However I didn't consider the fact my friend knowing how felt would make things awkward... I don't have many friends and I really like being friends with this person. Did my confession fuck things up? I'm really out of my element here

5 weeks post top surgery!

Really feeling like myself rn, I'm even wearing makeup! I've never been able to do that without dysphoria making me wash it off! It's just mascara but I'm pretty happy about it 😄

Edit: thank you all so much for your kind words, it means so much to me 🥺💚

How do I downsize a pattern?

I have a paper pattern for jeans with it's smallest size being AU18, but I'm an AU12. I think I know how downsize it but I figured I'd ask some sewing Reddit pages first so I don't accidentally do the wrong thing.

So Reddit, how would you go about downsizing a jeans pattern 3 sizes smaller?
